    Which wok should I buy?
    Overall, our favorite wok is the Yosukata Carbon Steel Flat Bottom Wok. This pan is versatile, durable, and affordable. And thanks to the carbon steel construction, it conducts heat quickly and retains it consistently throughout the cooking process, which is an essential factor to consider when shopping for a wok.

    What kind of wok do Chinese restaurants use?
    Chinese restaurants prefer them, and we prefer using them at home as well. Whether it is a “pow wok” with a single handle or a large wok with two metal handles, carbon steel is our top choice. Fairly inexpensive and lighter than cast iron, carbon steel woks season nicely over time to create a non-stick surface.

    What is a good material for a wok?
    As a result, carbon steel is a fantastic material for woks. In addition to carbon steel and cast iron, modern woks can also be made from stainless steel or other nonstick materials. Stainless steel takes longer to heat up, but it does retain heat evenly and thoroughly.

    Which wok pan should I buy?
    If a flat-bottomed wok is your choice, we stand behind the Yosukata Carbon Steel Wok Pan, which comes pre-seasoned and has an ample 13.5-inch diameter. For the best value round-bottom option, the Wok Shop Carbon Steel Wok with Metal Side Handle is a great 14-inch wok. It heats quickly and evenly and is durable.

    What is the best round bottom wok?
    For the best value round-bottom option, the Wok Shop Carbon Steel Wok with Metal Side Handle is a great 14-inch wok. It heats quickly and evenly and is durable. We had high hopes for the Joyce Chen Pro Chef Flat Bottom Wok Uncoated Carbon Steel, but it just didn't shine above the others. Marianne also found the handle to be slightly uncomfortable.
